I started with QFS 3 months ago. I decided to record an update video -- my progress so far ... It's taken me a whole lifetime to get to the point where I can speak and understand French (not perfectly, but pretty good). I recorded my thoughts here (in English) so if you're starting out maybe you'll find what I have to say useful.

Pronouns — The Small Words That Replace Everything

Salut! Today you're learning a set of little pronouns that show up constantly in French — and that make your sentences flow much more naturally once you know them. Video below Ça — That / It Ce — That Y — There (replaces a place or idea: j'y vais — I'm going there) En — Some / Of it / From there (j'en veux — I want some) Lui — To him / To her Leur — To them Moi — Me Toi — You Eux — Them Y and en are the two that trip people up the most — the video goes into detail on both so make sure to watch closely! Can you make a few sentences using today's words? Write them in the comments below!

The U vs OU Sound Salut! Today you're tackling one of the most important pronunciation distinctions in French — and one of the hardest for English speakers to hear at first. Video below Le son U — lips rounded, tongue forward near your teeth Think of the English "ee" sound but with your mouth shaped like an O tu, vu, une, sur, lune Le son OU — lips rounded, tongue deeper inside the mouth Think of the English "oo" in food tout, vous, roue, soupe, bouche The best practice sentence — Tu vois tout ? Tu = U sound / tout = OU sound — both in the same sentence! Minimal pairs — say these slowly and exaggerate the difference tu — tout vu — vous sur — sourd rue — roue lu — loup bu — bout jus — joue nu — nous mur — mou These two sounds can completely change a word's meaning, so it's worth drilling them until the difference feels automatic! Can you make a few sentences using today's words? Write them in the comments below!
